Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant carbon source and it is a base of the whole
biorefinery concept. Levoglucosan (1, 6-anhydro-β-D-glucopyranose)(LG) is an anhydrous …

Sorbitol, which is a six carbon polyol typically derived from glucose, is widely used in food,
personal care and pharmaceutical products. Sorbitol production processes that use …

Hydrogenation reactions in water at elevated temperatures are challenging for
heterogeneous catalysts. Thus, we present a simple, cheap, scalable, and sustainable …

Polyols are important biomass-based building blocks for chemical production. In this work, a
hydrotalcite-derived PtNi alloy catalyst (PtNi/HT) was prepared with high metal dispersion …

A new reality of the 21st century is the transition to a new type of economy and energy
concepts characterized by the replacement of existing petrochemical routes to a bio-based …

Today, energy conversion devices typically rely on composite electrodes made of several
materials interacting with one another. Understanding their individual and combined impacts …

As the monomeric unit of the abundant biopolymer cellulose, glucose is considered a
sustainable feedstock for producing carbon-based transportation fuels, chemicals, and …

The paper reports on the use of heterogeneous supported Cu catalysts in the aqueous
phase reduction of mono and disaccharides to reduced sugars. The huge availability of the …

Sorbitol, a product primarily derived from glucose hydrogenation, has extensive applications
in the pharmaceutical, chemical and other industries. Amino styrene-co-maleic anhydride …

Lignocellulosic biomass represents one of the most important feedstocks for future
biorefineries, being a precursor of valuable bio-products, obtainable through both chemical …
